Has anyone else noticed that used aftermarket parts availabilty has gone up quite a bit? And has anyone noticed that parts sales seem to be way off?

I see longtube headers for sale and there are zero replies. OF course, in many cases, owners are asking 80-90% of retail. They must be smoking crack.

Camshafts and heads are in abundant supply ... but again, way over priced for used parts.

It appears that the mod market might be drying up a tad for this platform. Stands to reason ... it's been out of production for 2 1/2 years. I just find it interesting that parts are becoming more abundant, both retail and used, yet the costs are not coming down.

I think that Rob Hoods explanation of the current parts available are the reasons why so many are selling used parts.

How many people do you think sold their BMR PHR and got something else 'JUST' from the post on the other board?
Or how many realized that they should have bought long tubes instead of short tubes?

Because of the quality of some of the aftermarket parts, people are willing to step up to something better (or just different).

Anyone notice that Fox Mustangs were kinda nice when new, then went into that crappy mullet mobile stage? Now I see nice examples of both stock and modified cars. These are enthusiast's cars, and those type cars stick around.

Did Chevrolet build more 4th gen Camaros than shoebox Chevies? Or Chevelles? Or 1st gen F-bodies. Those cars are still around. I expect these will be around awhile too.

Aside from interior, the F-body is still a pretty nice car. I wish I had the $ for another. A LS1 SS. Copletely stock except new shocks, brake pads, shifter, lid & filter, and GMMG exhaust.
You can still drive a Street Prepared car, but it really starts to not be much fun when the A/C comes out!
